Yes, Pests Can Still Impact Your Home During Winter

At Keystone Pest Solutions, we recognize that scheduling winter pest control services can sometimes pose a challenge for our clients. A common inquiry we receive is, “What do you do in the winter?” Contrary to popular belief, winter is an opportune time to address and preempt any pest activity that may occur within your home or business. When executed effectively, winter service is indeed the most beneficial of the four services included in our quarterly pest control program. Below is an overview of what you can expect from our winter pest control service:

How Does Keystone Pest Solutions LLC Help?

  • We will conduct a thorough inspection and treatment of the interior of your home or business for spiders and insects. This process addresses any spiders or other fall-invading insects, such as stink bugs, that may have bypassed our warm-weather exterior barrier applications. Additionally, it is an ideal time to treat pests that are not climate-dependent, such as silverfish or house centipedes.


  • We will inspect the interior for signs of mouse activity. All interior rodent control equipment, including traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, will be serviced and cleaned. Based on the level of activity detected during the inspection, further interior rodent control measures may be implemented. We will also identify potential rodent entry points and provide corrective recommendations to the property owner.


  • We will examine your property for visible signs of termite activity. Annual inspections by a licensed, trained pest management professional are crucial for detecting termite activity in its early stages, thereby minimizing the risk of extensive damage.


  • We will inspect your food storage areas for evidence of stored product pests, such as Indian meal moths and grain beetles. We will assist you in identifying items that have surpassed their expiration dates, which are at a higher risk of fostering insect populations.


  • We will continue to service our exterior rodent control stations. It is important to note that voles remain active outdoors year-round and are particularly destructive during the winter months when food sources become scarce.


  • Our winter service will include written report detailing any activity found, recommendations, and the materials used during the service.

As demonstrated, there is a considerable amount that can be accomplished during the winter months to ensure that you enter the upcoming spring season with a pest-free interior, a rodent-free exterior, and peace of mind regarding termites and stored product pests.
